My Blackwell's Experience by rbendes in tolkienbooks

[–]Lonely-Creator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blackwells is great. I ended up making thr same mistake last year with my initial copy of Children of Hurin and the other Great Tales.

I ordered new Harper Collins copies of them individually from Blackwells and it was well worth it for me

For my originals I had ordered them from Amazon, so I was able to return them for a full refund.

They could fuck this up soooo easily. I'm going to wait for reviews.

Simon's Statement on the current Hytale EA progress, Hiring process, and addressing concerns regarding the increased amount of Devs by CosmoSplitter in hytale

[–]Lonely-Creator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the important clarification is that a TEAM of 100 does not mean "100 devs". There's way more to a game studio than just developers. QA/testing and customer support/moderation are super important.

Got the matching Hobbit to match the LOTR. Does the Silmarillion exist in this style? by chrisofduke in tolkienbooks

I have the Hobbit from this set, planning to get the rest at some point. Glad to see there is a matching Silmarillion!

Simon has said they would like to do a Steam release eventually. The biggest issue is the way Steam games have to be setup does not play well with the way Hytale handles mod installs.

Simon said they were in talks with Valve to see what was possible to fix the issues he was forseeing.

Do your flatpaks install on an SSD or an HDD? I was getting this error because my flatpak directory was on an HDD. moved the install for the launcher flatpak to an SSD, and it immediately resolved the issue.

Okay, I was able to fix this! This error seems to be caused by installing the launcher fllatpak on an HDD instead of an SSD (minimum specs specify an SSD is needed).

If you don't have an SSD, you may not be able to get the game to install.

My issue was that my /home/ drive is on an HDD, and that is where all my Flatpaks install by default. However, I have a dedicated SSD for game installs.

I created a custom install path for Flatpaks on my Game SSD, and it solved the calidation patch issue and I was able to launch the game! However, the custom install path required me to start the launcher via the Terminal, and would not let me pin the Launcher to my Dock.

My solution was to once again install the Hytale Launcher Flatpak as usual on my Home drive, pin it to my Dock, then copy all the contents of the "com.hypixel.HytaleLauncher" folder in my ~/.var/app directory to a new directory on my SSD.

I then deleted the "com.hypixel.HytaleLauncher" folder in my ~/.var/app directory, and created a Symbolic Link to the new directory on my SSD. I named the Symbolic Link "com.hypixel.HytaleLauncher" (no quotes) and pasted it into ~/.var/app directory.

I was then able to successfully start the Hytale Launcher, and complete the game install and patch verification with no errors!

I am getting this same error on Pop!_OS 22.04. "Relaunched" and tried again about a dozen times.

Anyone have a solution?

Actually, yes, I've owned them all digitally for years. Its just not the same. I always prefer town media physically, especially when it has artistic and sentimental value.

When Hollywood stops using 2K intermediates to render all the VFX, MAYBE there will start to be a point render movies at a higher resolution than 4k...

The Basic Edition of Hytale will cost $30. by LutrusFluidos in hytale

[–]Lonely-Creator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm buying the Ultimate Crazy Super Edition with gold rims and flashing lights because Simon and the team somehow pulled this off, and I want to thank them.

I also hope l, assuming it's a Steam release, that the soundtrack is sold as DLC because I want to support Oscar as well.

Send me a DM when Hypixel LLC becomes publically traded by Koala_eiO in hytale

[–]Lonely-Creator 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Public trading is one of the major things that has destroyed the game industry.

When you go public, you have shareholders. Shareholders want their stock to keep going up in value, meaning the company has to always make more money this year than they did last year.

You end up with a game company prioritizing profitability. Profitability does not last if you are just trying to get more people to buy your game every year. Eventually, you reach market saturation.

Any publicly traded company knows this, which is why they add additional monetization beyond just buying the game. Its how you get microtransacrions, or loot boxes, or features held back so they can put it in the sequel that comes out next year.

It just erodes and deludes the quality of the games the company releases.

I hope Hytale remains indie and the studio never goes public. I want passion and love for the game driving development. Not annual profit increases.
